I’m obsessed with making things.

All I want to be is a person who makes things
and thinks about them. – John Maeda

If you’re here, you’re probably curious about who I am and what it is I do, exactly. While I can’t promise that I have that second one figured out, here’s my best stab at it: I make things. More specifically, I make things online. From businesses to blogs to online courses. I also write, coach and consult to democratize entrepreneurship and help people make things of their own.

Once a week, I interview creative entrepreneurs on The Grand Life, a site about creativity, freedom, and work. I’m also the founder of Learnwise, where I create digital education products.

At the heart of everything I do is the desire to find the story. Whether it’s interviewing, writing or designing courses, there’s a narrative beneath it all and my job is to seek it out & create an engaging composition.

In 2009, I moved to Chicago and fell in love with the city. When not working, you’ll find me cycling the streets of Chicago or enjoying a tasty latte at some hipster coffee joint around the world.

I’m always excited to meet new people, so don’t hesitate to reach out. If you want to discuss writing opportunities, coaching or speaking engagements, contact me with the details and I’ll get back to you.
